Geophysics PhD. I like to better understand how our landscapes form and deform, slowly and brutally at times! As climate changes, I do my epsilon as a research scientist @ClarkU to better tackle risks during heavy rains and floodings.

Here’s why experts think Trump took 'a sledgehammer' to the H-1B visa worker program Business leaders support the visas as a way to bring talent to the U.S., while others say the program allows companies to hire foreign workers at lower wages than they would pay Americans.

After I was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship (at fixed salary) I had to get an H1-b visa as I already had a visiting (J1) visa. I am sure CCNY wouldn't have been able to pay a 100k$ fee..

Thanks to Trump’s Weather Service cuts, the 2 flood zone offices in Texas lack a chief meteorologist, warning coordination meteorologist, senior hydrologist staff forecaster & science officer.

And the top elected official in Kerr County, where the camp is, on their lack of a local warning system.
